Adding the cubs to this since they appear to be looking for a tor p: Cubs: OF Owen Caissie, IF James Triantos, OF Cody Bellinger
I would be really interested to see a list of prospects traded with the following 3 characteristics: 1. Position player drafted in the top half...
Maybe. Arenado did have an alarming drop in underlying batted ball metrics last season, which at age 33 is a big red flag. But even despite that...
****. Should be Paredes instead of Polanco.
Some smoke around Arenado. I would really like that move. This is a 2025 lineup I could really get excited about: 3B Polanco 1B Arenado 2B...
I am planning to update this in Jan-Feb once we can be reasonably sure Houston’s significant offseason moves are done. I’ve posted on the other...
Potential Framber packages: Giants: 1B Bryce Eldridge, 1B Lamont Wade Jr. Mets: 3B Brett Baty, 1B Ryan Clifford Orioles: OF Heston Kerstad, 1B...
The Tucker trade dropped Houston from 5th best projected fWAR in the league to 9th, but that’s only a difference of 2 wins. They go from...
I wouldn’t mind Alex Verdugo as a cheap everyday LF. They’d still need a platoon mate for Meyers (unless you like Taylor Trammell or Dezenzo)....
Net over their replacements. Astros lost Tucker (5 wins) and replace him with a 1 war pupu platter (Dezenzo, Dubon, etc.). They gained Paredes...
Word. Flip Framber for a RF and a good prospect. Sign Walker or Bregman. Sign a lesser SP they can max out. Deep contending roster,...
We’ll see how it all shakes out, but my back of the envelope: Lost ~4 wins in 2025 in RF. Gained ~2 wins in 2025 at 3B. Gained ~0.5 win in 2025...
He was a very good player. Sometimes looked lazy but could also be interpreted as unfazed. I liked watching him play and he won a ring in...
Shaw was the only prospect I would have rather had than Smith. Smith is a really really good prospect.
Interesting they have 5 pitchers in that top 10. I really like Pecko and Blubaugh. I’m not as high on Ullola but the front office seems to think...
A great compliment to the Tucker trade would be Framber to the Orioles for Kerstad, Mountcastle, and a good 2nd tier prospect. Then they’d have...
They probably have a pretty good idea on where Bregman is going.
Smith is an excellent prospect who is easily Houston’s best prospect now. Wesneski was a fringe Top 100 pitching prospect in 2023 who hasn’t...
This is a decent trade and certainly improves Houston’s outlook for 2026 and beyond. They probably are down only 1-2 wins in 2025 if you factor...
Debatable. Both are excellent prospects. Shaw is closer to the majors.
